• Positive Sentiment: Technical bullish signals are emerging for gold: prices rebounded from a key Fibonacci retracement, reclaimed the 20‑day moving average and formed daily/weekly reversal patterns, which supports momentum-based buying into GLD. Gold (XAU/USD) Price Forecast: Bullish Reversal Signals Emerging
• Positive Sentiment: World Gold Council / Kitco reporting shows ETF investors didn’t abandon holdings after recent steep moves, suggesting structural investor demand for GLD remains intact.

• Positive Sentiment: Macro drivers: lower U.S. yields and renewed safe‑haven flows have helped gold catch bids, supporting near‑term upside for GLD though dollar strength remains a cap. Gold News: Gold Catches a Bid on Lower Yields While Dollar Pressure Stalls Rally
• Positive Sentiment: High-profile bullish price forecasts (e.g., CIBC projecting much higher long‑run averages) and investment commentary (Bridgewater/Ray Dalio noting monetary uncertainty) are bolstering the narrative that gold—and by extension GLD—remains a strategic hedge. CIBC sees gold averaging $6,000 an ounce as safe-haven demand persists

• Negative Sentiment: Spillovers from other markets (crypto selloffs) and sharp silver de‑leveraging episodes have pressured gold at times, increasing downside risk for GLD during risk‑off liquidations. Gold Falls on Spillover Impact From Cryptocurrencies’ Selloff
